Shirley Scott

Famous quotes containing the words shirley and/or scott:

    “The glories of our blood and state
    Are shadows, not substantial things;
    There is no armour against fate;
    Death lays his icy hand on kings:
    Sceptre and crown
    Must tumble down,
    And in the dust be equal made
    With the poor crooked scythe and spade.”
    —James Shirley (1596–1666)

    “How shall we adorn
    Recognition with our speech?—”
    —N. Scott Momaday (b. 1934)
